Pedagogy of Social Studies with Integration of the Visual Arts in Early Childhood Education

The pedagogy of the Social Studies with the integration of the Visual Arts in Early Childhood Education includes developmentally appropriate application for all the National, State, and NAEYC standards to its core curriculum. A solid background in the Social Studies integrated with Visual Arts experiences from diverse cultures for the young learner will provide a solid foundation for later education in civic responsibility, decision making and character development. Therefore, the focus of this course is to expose teachers to a wide range of approaches to connect the Social Studies and multicultural Visual Arts content, teaching and learning to foster the development of knowledge, skills, and dispositions of the Social Studies in early childhood students. Formal and informal assessment tools, thematic planning, as well as classroom management strategies for whole-class and small group interaction are included
